Missing Glasgow man Scott Granger's family organise search after he vanished from home

The family of a missing Glasgow man are appealing for volunteers to help search the East End of the City tomorrow.

Scott Granger's loved ones say they are 'worried sick' after he suddenly vanished from his Easterhouse home late at night of Monday, February 21.

The 52-year-old had spent the evening with his dad Robert, 76, but later left the house without telling anyone where he was going.

The dad-of-three was last seen at around 11:17pm later that evening walking west on Gartloch Road in the Garthamlock area of Glasgow.

Robert is described as being six foot tall with greying hair. He was wearing a dark hooded parka-style jacket, blue jeans, beige Timberland boots and a grey flat cap when last seen.

Robert's family said he is very vulnerable after he suffered a stroke 10 years ago.

Since falling unwell, he has taken several seizures and has been left with issues with his memory.

His niece Stephanie Granger told the Daily Record Robert's relatives are worried he may have forgot where he was going or how to get home on the night he disappeared.

The 28-year-old said: "After he was reported missing, we watched CCTV of him getting off a bus and walking back the way he came.

"We think he must have got on the wrong one and was disorientated. Where he was last seen is nowhere near his house.

"It's a strange area for him, especially at that time of night when it was dark

"We're all just so worried and want him home safely. We're all struggling to sleep, the days and nights are rolling into one, we just need to know he is okay

"Someone must know something. He can't have just vanished without a trace. Please if anyone has any information, get in touch. You can contact a family member if you don't want to talk to the police."

Stephanie said the family have already searched high and low to help find her Uncle, however they are now appealing to locals to help widen their search.

They have organised a meet-up on Sunday, March 6 at 12pm at Hub Sports on Wellhouse Crescent, Glasgow.

The family hope the group can come together to help search the surroundings areas in a bid to bring Scott home.

Scott's daughter Nicola said: "We’d be extremely grateful if folk could come along and help us as we’re desperate to find him and get him home."

Sergeant Ashley Baxter of Easterhouse Police Office said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Scott’s welfare the longer he remains missing.

“I would ask anyone who has any information which may assist our enquiries or has seen anyone matching his description to contact us.

“I would also urge anyone who lives in the area that has a dashcam, private CCTV or doorbell camera footage to review this and pass on anything of note to police.”
